    Description

    Mayan Mosaic Burial Mask
    Archeologists discovered masks with the remains of buried Mayans. The Mayans are thought to have placed a burial mask on the deceased to represent the person’s changing status: from a being of this life to one of the next. Burial masks were often made of jade, stucco, or wood.
